A charitable arm of national retailer Kohl's Corp. donated more than $150,000 to the Children's Hospital of San Antonio to improve immunization rates among children in Bexar County.

In a news release, the hospital announced it received a check Friday for $163,701 from the Kohl's Cares Immunization Program, which it has partnered with since 2004.

To date, the department store's charitable program has donated more than $1 million to the children's hospital, and the program should help immunize nearly 5,000 children this fiscal year, according to the release.

Kohl's raises funds for donations through the net profits of the sale of special gift items at registers in its stores, the release reads.
